38 These who are coming in by name [are] princes in their families, and the house of their fathers has broken forth into a multitude;
Edin a yɛabobɔ yi yɛ ntuanofoɔ a wɔdeda Simeon mmusuakuo a wɔyɛ adefoɔ no ano no bi.
39 and they go to the entrance of Gedor, to the east of the valley, to seek pasture for their flock,
Wɔkɔɔ Gedor fam a na ɛwɔ bɔnhwa no apueeɛ fam sɛ wɔrekɔpɛ asase pa ama wɔn mmoa adidi so.
40 and they find pasture, fat and good, and the land broad of sides, and quiet, and safe, for those dwelling there before are of Ham.
Wɔnyaa mmoa adidibea pa wɔ hɔ. Na asase no so dwo na basabasayɛ biara nni hɔ. Na Ham asefoɔ no bi akɔtena Gedor fa mu hɔ dada.
41 And these who are written by name come in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and strike their tents, and the habitations that have been found there, and devote them to destruction to this day, and dwell in their stead, because pasture for their flock [is] there.
Yudahene Hesekia ɛberɛ so no, Simeon ntuanofoɔ no ko dii hɔ so, sɛee Ham ne Maonfoɔ afie pasaa. Wɔkumm obiara a na ɔte hɔ, faa asase no, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔpɛ sɛ wɔnya mmoa didibea pa no.
42 And of them, of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men have gone to Mount Seir, and Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, sons of Ishi, at their head,

43 and they strike the remnant of those escaped of Amalek, and dwell there to this day.
